Did a volunteer day today instead of going to work. Company allows us to attend to volunteer days a year which is cool. Was just packing sschool bags which will go to children effected by domestic violence. Great Experience.

Will make specific ones later on tonight, but I do want to get back to playing Rugby Union (perhaps League). I am a small fry at the moment, so guess I will do some thinking about goals I can achieve in relation to that.

1. Eat more food, weighted myself at the gym today.Weighted 64.5kg, lowest I've been in 7+ years at least. Want to get to 75kg by end of year, so not a good start there. Had a think and I simply do not think I am eating near enough calorie wise, I eat/drink a shit tonne of fruit and veg. But given I am actually hitting the gym 5/6 days a week now I am burning it all off and then some. Not going to count calories really, will see how I go tomorrow then use it as a basis for the rest of the month. I think if I add a bowl of rice/veges mid afternoon, apple/peanut butter mid morn and a extra protein shake that should help a bunch.

2. PLANK! Starting as a base of 1m 20 secs for base time of plank, improve plank time by 4 seconds each day. Don't think I need to get ready to achieve goals for size of arms, individual sizes yet. Its only been 6 weeks or so since I have been going reguarly.

3. 22 Workouts. Unfortunately its not a leap year, but 1.5 days of a week should be all good!

Definately the weight increase is going to happen by eating more food. This is something I'm starting to notice now big time as my weight is steadily and constantly climbing. Another nice benefit is from the extra carbs, I'm looking so much fuller; my chest almost looks like I've just trained it at the moment... hasn't been trained in about 5 days lol.

Sweet, guess I'm on the right track , back to 66kg today. What happens with yourself if you get near 145lbs? You will cut back when you are getting close to record attempt?

As long as its the chest thats fuller and not the gut thats a good thing

Decided to play as havent done so in 6 months or so, tell ya what, carrying bag for 18 holes was harder than I remembered!

Workout 3: Monday Feb 4th Noticed I was hungry when getting near the gym, ended up starving, water didnt fill me up at all. I should have eaten 30 - 45 mins before I went but completely forgot

They had a kettle bell class today at the gym for the 1st time today, decided to go during lunch for a change. Also wanted to see how busy the gym was in general during lunch. Too busy, I'll stick to going to work early and going afterwards.Class was good, lots of aerobic work really. Was a total body work out, really like using kettle bells, would like to look into some more strength exercises with them.

Sigh, looks like Im only good at keeping this updated if I do it nightly, otherwise I keep just saying 'I'll do it tomorrow'.

Tuesday I did work outWednesday I did not work out, planned to but was buggeredThursday, did not work work out, Valentines day Friday, me and the girl went to Sydney for weekend, ended up staying at a Sheraton branded hotel for the first night and there was a decent gym so I made sure to use it. No one was there for the hour I used it. Was plenty of equipment.Saturday, we went to the Blue Mountains, we did a bunch of walking through tracks but no specific workout.

Today, Sunday. We left the Blue mountains in the morn but I went for a cheeky run to one of the lookouts, was only a 10 min run but was stoked I actually woke up to do it.

What's up with the physio, not injured are you mate?

Package was Roberts book haha, quite appropriate really!

I have had a saw elbow last 6 months or so, its not enough to stop me doing most activities, but silly things like holding a bag of groceries for extended periods the joint starts to be painful. It almost feel like its a chipped bone :/. Has slowly been improving though, never broken a bone or anything so almost to proud to go to get it fixed lol.

Went to a different gym today (same franchise, different location) while the girl was shopping. Was lots of different equipment, was all different branded equipment and actually felt different on various machines. Also came across first people who I thought were muppets, they were loud obnoxious, if I was a guest I would have been very turned off. Anyways
